Halftime Shows

[Kung Wu]

The quality of half-time entertainment seems to vary inversely with the quality of the basketball team. Understandably so, I suppose.

and the financial strength of the AD/economy.

Since about 2007 I've noticed far fewer "external" halftime shows. Last year I don't think any of the games we attended (7 or so) had any halftime show that wasn't local.

There are some good ideas on this thread with local talent only - there has to be a bunch more.

I'd like to request a pole dancing exhibition. :D

Would it be a violation to have Heights play Sunrise Christian? :D

A few years ago there was a group of middle/high school ages kids doing a drum/marching thing that was pretty interesting. I think they were from KC.

The Marching Cobra's?

Those kids were pretty flippin good.

I recall many moons ago when a boat load of ‘Air Cap Tap Tappers' (IIRC) assembled on the old floor of Levitt Arena and laterally pounded their taps into the freshly varnished floor. Yes, it was a hoot; however I was informed the floor received serious damage from the clogging. They haven’t received another invitation. :D

P.S. Google's great... here's this fine group in action:

There was some basketball instructional school that had 10-15 kids ranging in age from about 2 to 12, maybe older, that performed dribbling (mostly) and other basketball skills. Fun to watch and some amazing skiils for the wee ones.

They were good, but that was for Shocker Madness--I believe before the 2006-2007 season, not halftime. That said, it'd be great to have them back. As I recall, they were really late arriving for some reason, which made things go a lot later than expected that night.

I remember at some point there being a three person act and some girl on a bouncing board doing acrobatic stuff that was kind of interesting. I believe she had two guys carrying the board and walking all over the court as she continued. Or something like that.

That's right. They were throwing her in the air incredibly high.

I just wish I was a side-show freak getting paid to travel the country & watching sports. Plus chicks dig dudes who can offer 15 minutes of intense entertainment.

We have the Cobras every year. They are fantastic and a great KC tradition.

Really, BCS? You have to even bring the one-upmanship into a thread about halftime entertainment?

In other news, my dad and I have discussed how "America's Got Talent" is a great proving ground for potential halftime shows. Most of them couldn't hold people's attention for an entire Vegas showcase, but a lot could be very entertaining for 10 minutes of halftime.

Point in case, this season there was a guy who did some pretty impressive things with a mountain bike. His act would be perfect for halftime.

I first saw them while I was in Vegas on Fremont Street one October evening. I remember telling my dad that they would be a cool halftime entertainment for the Shox. Low and behold they were the halftime entertainment for a game that following season. I just wish I would have had the same luck while I was actually IN Vegas gambling. If only I was truely prophetic....

Nobody gives a FLYING **** what they do at Team Aggieville's arena. Please try to understand this basic concept on this message board.
